97.1 Basis and purpose.
...
(b) Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to
contribute to the advancement of the radio art.
Hams being so anti technology is mind blowing. I have never seen such
a paradox except in ham radio.
(yes, it also talks about skill but that doesn't mean we have to shun
technology).
You don't have to use a voice skimmer, but someone will invent it. I
hope that contest rules at least adapt to it - keep the unassisted
categories (too late CQ WPX) without skimmer but allow it for assisted
or "unlimited" categories.
We already have the existing cluster with all of the "mechanical
turks" putting in DX spots anyway.
